I'd like *some* reliability out of this motor, I don't want to worry about PTV contact, but I'd still like to get the bigger cam lope out of it. Any suggestions? (Will be mated w/a T56)

I've heard/read great things about the Torquer v2 cam.

I would call or e-mail Tick, a sponser here. Tell them your wants or needs. I'm sure they can help you make sensible decision. I'm local to these guys. LOts of LS knowledge. Good guys too. I stop in from time to time, to see what's going on , and to say hey. Dean

I run a TR230 231/225 with single beehive springs and that is my daily, but the cam makes great all around power and still has a pretty nasty lope
